I don't usually get into political discussions, but if Ted did what he did to avoid the draft, maybe in the long run that was the better thing for others concerned. If he was that much against holding a rifle in the rice patties and told to kill people......would you rather have him drafted anyway only to have him next to you in battle when you're depending on him.?
Some people are cut out for it and some are not. If he managed to figure out a way to not be there, it just might have been better for those who were there and needed to depend on him.

Verne, as always your voice of reason prevails. There was nothing worse than having someone next to you in the service that you counted on, but they were unable to come through. I had one sad suborinate respond to an order with "You can't make me care". I never asked him to do another thing. He was very alone. Sad.
